The Season Playoffs Are On! Time To Bandwagon.

Eight teams from each conference played their way and earned their right to make The Season Playoffs, which means 16 teams were left out in the cold. If you were a fan of one of these teams, you do not need to feel defeated for too long. Time for you to bandwagon! The concept is simple- you can join any playoff team and compete with them. If your team loses, you can bandwagon again. Make sure you bandwagon if your team is eliminated!!

Some things to keep in mind: Every player that plays for a team that wins during the playoffs could win a $50 gift card thanks to 'The Season Playoff PayDay'. The player that scores the most total points during the playoffs will win a $500 gift card. So when you bandwagon you have two goals: bandwagon to a team that you think will win and score as many points as you can.

Best Bandwagon Teams:

Tampa Bay Bucs

Houston Texans

Washington Redskins

Oakland Raiders

These were the four highest scoring teams during the regular season, and logic would indicate that you will have the best chance of winning if you bandwagon them. You also could help upset one of these teams by bandwagoning another team. Which brings me to...

Interesting Bandwagon Teams:

San Francisco 49ers

Green Bay Packers

Kansas City Chiefs

The concept of bandwagoning really adds an interesting variable to The Season. If a lot of 30,000 or 40,000 point players from non-playoff teams join Green Bay or San Francisco then that might give them an edge to beat Tampa Bay or Washington. Are Buzztimers safe bandwagoners that just want to make sure they win, or are they the type of players that will join an underdog and try and beat a team like Tampa Bay? We shall see.

Below are the 1st round match-ups and my prediction for who will win this Friday. I hope this helps your bandwagon decisions. Who do you think will win? What upsets do you see happening? For more information check out The Season home page.
